International Online Shopping
One advantage of the global village: You can take a look at all the stores and compare prices. This works especially well if you compare the prices at different branches of the same store... like Pricenoia does.
In the above example you can see that in Germany ordering this book from Amazon.com is still cheaper then from Amazon.de.
Also very impressive is this application called MAB:
"Mab is a Rich Web Application to search products on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de and Amazon.jp sites"Because it uses Mozilla's XML User Interface Language (XUL) Mab only runs with the Mozilla or Firefox Browser! Check it out (Click Remote on the Mab site).
All of those sites use Amazon Web Services AWS - so they not only do it out of their big hearts ;)
